when i received the 'dusty, dirty Grandis' i wrote about a couple weeks ago https://www.bikeforums.net/showthread...+dirty+grandis i discovered among the various items a pair of vintage Look pedals.

i compared them to the cleats on my shoes for SPD pedals, and they looked right. i went ahead and slapped em on a pedal-less bike, jumped aboard and clipped in no problem. since then i've done a 40 miler with lots of hills and the pedals worked great.

has anyone else noticed this? and has anyone noticed Look pedals that won't work with SPD'S?

and the Grandis is torn down now, components getting polished and bearings re-built. it will be a stunner

Which SPD clip are you referring to? The two bolt or three bolt?

the cleat that mounts to shoes with 3 bolts

Not the same. Close but not quite right. Those are referred to a SPD-SL, BTW.

i had no trouble whatever w/the Look pedal/SPd cleat combo. a quick perusal of the 'bay shows a wealth of various Looks for sale at ~$35-$40...a nice cut from the SPD's ...what i was wondering about is, is the combination a known/recognized/understood/commonly used one, and are there Looks that will not work with the Shimano style cleat?
